> Windows was a "worse is better" MacOS
Bad example, MacOS was out years before windows. Microsoft just got a massive market hack. It had nothing to do with solving a problem directly and then iterating...
- eftpotrm 15y agoMacOS (not that it was then branded as such) - 1984. Windows 1.0 - 1985. So not quite years really.
- Volpe 15y agojanuary 1984 vs november 1985... you going to get pissy about 3 months? My point is still valid.
- kenneth_reitz 15y agoWindows 1.0 was just a fancy dosshell. Windows 3.0 should count as 1.0 in this case I think :)
- eftpotrm 15y agoFrankly I think you could make an argument even Win3 wasn't all that much to write home about.... (I confess to still mild incredulity that MacOS beat AmigaOS so thoroughly in the market, being both more expensive and substantially less powerful in both hardware and software. If Commodore had done their jobs properly, we'd be saying Steve Who?)
